Scary Spice Mel B: Comes to New York Fashion Week Spring 2009
Scary Spice Mel B, 33, is to come at New York style Week Spring 2009 presenting Ultimo underwear.
Melanie Brown signed up as the new face and body of the lingerie brand Ultimo in April 2008. She will show their new line along with designers Philip Lim, DKNY, Diesel Black Gold, Herve Leger, Betsey Johnson, Ralph Lauren and Rock & Republic next Tuesday.
Michelle Mone created Ultimo, that is the very first British lingerie model house to show theirs collection at New York style Week, and Michelle is one of the few Scottish designers to have their linen grace its catwalks.
Mel B said:
I am thrilled to be representing Ultimo at New York style Week. I’m so passionate about Ultimo’s designs and I can’t wait for the crowd’s reaction to what Michelle and the team will be sending down the runway.”
Michelle said:
I could not believe it when I received the phone call from New York; I honestly thought it was a wind up! You don’t get much bigger than New York style Week.
"To be showing in one of the most prominent style cities in the world, alongside such well-established designers, is just phenomenal. It will be a huge honour and a fantastic opportunity for us to shine under the international spotlight, and to establish Ultimo on a global level. I’m also delighted to be joined by Mel B, who is an amazing ambassador for Ultimo.”

Rachel Bilson In Page Six Magazine
Page Six Magazine has a special style Issue out this week and gracing the cover is sexy actress Rachel Bilson.
In her interview with the mag she reveals her love for Coco Chanel and Hayden Christensen - and how she’s making it easy for copycats to steal her look in her new role as a designer.
The 27-year-old former star of The O.C. is recognized for her eclectic sense of style, which has also landed her in the crosshairs of the style police:
“I think it’s cool to be on the worst-dressed list. If people aren’t accepting, that’s OK. Bring it on, I don’t care!”
Her passion for style had led her to unveil a new clothing line, Edie Rose (named after her late grandmother), debuting on DKNY Jeans.
She admits she can’t sew, and says she:
“came with some pictures, a couple pieces of my own clothes and some ideas in my head. It’s simple with one pop of color, which is like me.”
Rachel credits her style to her mother, Janice, a spiritual adviser, adding:
”Vintage is her love, she has a great eye, which I think I’ve inherited from her.”
Up next for Rachel is an abstract film collection of New York City stories due out next February titled New York, I Love You, in which she co-stars with current boyfriend Hayden Christensen.
“I’m happy and that’s all that matters. I have someone really great. Someone who can make me laugh-that’s always what comes first. It’s the best to be able to really, like, truly laugh with someone like they’re your best friend, you know?”
As far as her ex-costar/ex-boyfriend Adam Brody?
“They say don’t date your co-star, but that’s who you’re around. If you’re in an office, and you see someone everyday and you click well, you’ll start dating. It’s the same thing.”
